Wordless Wednesday: Care Package & Snow “Accumulation”

My bff, LP, sent me a care package this past week! So thankful and love her to death!

She actually sent me these warmers for INSIDE my house. It has yet to reach 60 degrees in here all winter. Baseboard heat is outrageously expensive!

Earlier this month I asked on my Facebook page about Bible Study suggestions. Her hubby suggested this book, although it’s more of a read than a devotion.
This measurement cracks me up. It lasted about 5 days. It’s all gone again. THIS is winter in Maryland. Reminds me of when I lived in Washington state.
This was Minnesota last year in December. Not sure when it finally went away, but I’m guessing it wasn’t until April sometime. Now THAT’s the winter we’re used to!

Transferring Medication Refills To Walgreens #WalgreensRX #shop

Now that we’re settled into the new house and have found our doctors, the next step was for us to find a pharmacy for all of our prescriptions to transfer. I signed up at Walgreens.com and did a pharmacy chat to learn more.

My oldest son and I have prescriptions that need to be filled monthly and I also have occasional eczema that flairs up occasionally that I have a Rx for. Since #WalgreensRX is everywhere, it’s a safe bet to sign up with them and have them in our history so that if we move one more time in the next year, all we have to do is have the prescriptions go to a different location.

Signing up online was extremely easy and done within a couple of minutes.

After I put in my personal information, I was given the option of transferring our prescriptions. Since we only have a few it was easy to have them to enter.

Once our information was entered, I wanted to try out the Walgreens App because I like getting things done fast and easy. Imagine, ordering your Rx just by scanning a barcode?!


I wasn’t sure which would be the quickest and easiest method of getting a Rx refilled so I jumped on a chat at Walgreens.com and ended up chatting with a Pharmacy Technician. He told me when he uses the App, it takes about 5 minutes for the pharmacy to receive it. lol Crazy fast and exactly what I need.

Since I have ADD, having a quick way to order my prescription or my son’s prescription is important. Thankfully the school nurse calls when she gets down to about a week of medication left and gives me a chance to get his Rx refilled. Thanks to #CollectiveBias I'm was able to put all of this into action!

Do you have all of your Rxs in one place?

Wordless Wednesday: Winter in Maryland

So far, the boys and I haven’t been very impressed with the Maryland winter. We’ve seen glimpses of snow a couple of times, but like when I lived in Washington, it disappears rather quickly.
I thought seeing white across the expanse of Minnesota for 4-5 months was hard to handle, but it’s been a dull brown here since September? I’m thinking that’s even more depressing.

Yes, there’s a bonus that it hasn’t reached –60 here. The downside is, when it snows, or there’s a hint of snow, everything shuts down. The boys have had more days off here than any year back home. I have a feeling the boys will be going to school until July at this rate.

Today was another day off because of “inclement weather”. It finally started snowing around 12:30pm. At this rate, school will be closed again tomorrow. I really need these boys to go back to school. This tiny house with all 3 of us in it all day long is driving me insane!

How’s the weather where you are?

A Perfect Duo: DiGiorno Pizza and Football #GameTimeGoodies #shop

Right now it’s game time, so the boys and I are watching Denver and New England play and man, it’s a good game! Yes, Denver has carried it, but we had hoped New England would stay a bit closer with the points! We love watching football on the weekends.

Last night Fred and I headed to Walmart after his son’s baseball game to stock up on some DiGiorno pizza’s so we could eat some good grub and celebrate the the games before the Big Game! Ahhhh I can hardly wait for February 2nd!

Now, I’ll be honest here…I had 3 DiGiorno pepperoni pizzas in the freezer already. Hey, they’re on rollback for $4.50 right now, so I’ve started stocking up. This time I grabbed a Three Meat and 4 Cheese, and yea, one more Pepperoni.

I got it in my head that I would cut the pizza up into football shapes and one of the pizza’s into a goal post. Hey, I’m not one to think outside of the box or creatively so that’s all I had. hahahaha Thankfully, I grabbed some decorations to make sure we were festive! I wish I had all of my football decorations from home. I have the best platters and dishes. Sigh…I’ll get back home to get those things one of these days!

I cut up the pizza after they were defrosted a bit and got them into the oven. In the meantime, I make a 5 Cheese Spinach Artichoke dip. Again, I don’t have my slow cooker with me so I had to make it on the stove. Sweet Fred brought his over after I already had it pretty much cooked. It definitely could’ve used some extra slow cooking time.

As soon as the first game started, the guys and I grabbed our pizzas and sat down to root on our teams. Since Green Bay isn’t in any of the games, Buddy doesn’t care who’s playing. Doodle was hoping the Patriots would win and I was on the fence. I like Tom Brady and his team, but I also have an affinity for Denver since we lived in Colorado for 7 yrs and I was a HUGE Elway fan and now I’m a huge Peyton Manning fan! I bet Indianapolis is kicking themselves for letting him go! They got so close this year, but Manning is bringing Denver to the Big Game next month! Woot!

Now we need to warm up our leftover pizza and eat some cheesecake for the second game of the day. We’re pulling for Seattle. Yet another place I lived AND they have Percy Harvin who’s from Minneapolis and is on the only jersey I own, but from my hometown team from last year, not with his new team! I’m hoping they win and there’s a Denver/Seattle battle.

The last time I saw them together was in 1985? We had just moved to Seattle from Erie, CO and I thought Elway could do no wrong. Denver came to the Evergreen State and my parents gave my brother and I tickets to watch them. There he and I sat at the stadium as 15 and 10 yr olds rooting on our old team in our new city. lol Let’s just say, we didn’t make any fans in Seattle that day!

Who is your pick for the win in February?
